Qs do the Squires Lake Loop Hike

This trail is located at the border of Whatcom and Skagit counties in WA. It's a county park, so no parking pass is required. Trail is 2 miles with 200 feet elevation gain (WTA.org)

I usually prefer to hike slow. It's not a race; the one who enjoys it the most wins. But today I speed walked Squires lake. 2 miles in 38 minutes. (Very fast for me) Good cardio. From the trailhead it's 1/3 mile to the lake. Turn left to go clockwise around the lake, taking the path to the right whenever there's a choice, even the one pictured that looks like the wrong way. Other trails are good for a longer hike. Squires has a little ice near the outlet and the trail is damp but not muddy today. It gets pretty slick when wet.
